Today’s Phone Conversation

Acorn’s having a great time with his dad, from the sound of things. All our work on his speech is paying off, too: here’s what he said while I was chatting to him tonight.

“Hi.

“Nnn.

“Nng.

” ‘Kay.

“Bye.

“Bye!”

None of these were close to being perfectly pronounced, except for ” ‘Kay,” but it was understandable, and it felt like a real conversation. Even if approximately half of it was made up of all-purpose syllables that can mean literally anything.
